Having seen this, and I know people are talking about all the chances he will create for Giroud, but I think the main beneficiary of the team will be Walcott. Özil seems to be adept at putting the ball into that gap behind/between defenders that will suit Theo’s speed. It also looks like Walcott won’t be taking many free kicks or corners from now on…I can’t say that I’m too disappointed in that. Very impressive video, and I’d just like to thank Spurs’ special relationship with Real Madrid that saw Totteringhams best player leave and allowed us to get Özil.… Read more »
I know the fact has been going round that Özil is statistically the most creative midfielder in Europe, but they always leave out the most impressive part:
Özil’s 9 goals and 16 assists last season came in just 23 league starts. His 55 league assists for Madrid came in 85 starts. By way of comparison, David Silva has 58 career league assists… in 234 starts.
He is just an astounding player. I suspect in 20 years they’ll say of him that he had the elegance of Zidane and the creativity of Laudrup.
this guy is f***ing awsome, people can say all they like because bottomline there jealous .Theo will benefit the most from him not so much Giroud. As we see in most of the clips its Ronaldo who benefits due to pace. Overall looking forward for a realy bright looking 4/5 years
I realized that after being mesmerized by about 15 minutes of wonderful football, there were not any goals or assists yet.
He’s touted as an assist machine, but is soooo much more.
My one worry is that like Santi or Jack, the only way to get the ball off him is to foul him and with our refs, it makes me just a little worried for the guy.
There is little doubt in my mind that we’re going to be verging back into ‘kick Arsenal off the pitch’ territory, we’ll either see:
A/ lots of injuries for us, and probably reds for Flamini
or
B/ Lots of red cards for the opposition and a load of goals for us
My only hope is that now we’re bringing in the big names and sloshing our money around the place we’ll get more protection, let’s see if Cattermole gets a start at the weekend…
Ozil, like Santi, has somewhat mastered the “avoid damage jump/fall” just before the point of impact. He should be fine. I hope they pass this on to jack before he gets done over by a budding shawcross.
Also, I can see why Ronaldo is so pissed that he’s leaving. 10 minutes of that was Ronaldo converting or spurning chances created by ozil.
What a player they’ve lost and we’ve gained. No pressure Gareth!!

The best signing since THE LEGEND DENNIS B. So looking forward to this weekend. Let’s go again in January. Suarez what do you think?
No. There is a strong argument that Suarez’s style of football isn’t entirely helpful to the team he’s in. He tries to do too much himself, gets in other people’s way and doesn’t fit in a tactical system. He’d be the second best 1v1 player in the world but in 11v11 you have to play to his strengths, which compromises the contribution of others. Liverpool have a much better win percentage without him, which may or may not be significant, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they struggle more as a team when he comes back, even though he’ll do… Read more »

What bloody cr*p those Madrid players are, missed chance after chance, like Gervinho… No wonder he wanted to get out
“Crap Madrid players”… I think you need to realize that at Madrid he was assisting Ronaldo, Higuain, Benzema, etc. Do you really think that Giroud, Walcott, Bendtner, or Podolski are at the same level and quality of strikers as Madrids? I am so excited to see Özil play. But it’s foolish to think that our strikers are better finishers. We will see many brilliant chances created by Özil this season that lead to nothing, unfortunately.
Chaplin35 has a point – there were an awful lot of terrible misses there. Ronaldo is obviously one of the best of all time, but whenever I’ve seen Higuain for Argentina he’s been unimpressive, and Benzema’s just gone 15 starts for France without scoring a goal.
Maybe Özil and Di Maria are the ones who’ve been giving them better stats than they deserve.
I believe the cases of them playing for their respective national teams is irrelevant though. I’m talking solely about the likelihood of Özil’s created chances being converted at both clubs. I realize a majority of people disagree with me, maybe that’s a sign of something, but am I the only one who is honest with myself in thinking Madrid’s finishers are more clinical than ours in club performances?
I down voted this because the though of Suarez makes me ill. But dammit the thought of him on the end of some Ozil service ummm ahhhhh… NOPE! Stop it! Get a grip on yourself man!
And I up-voted you because you’re right. Enough of the horse shit Suarez thing. I want to eat my cake and I want to enjoy it. Why do people suggest otherwise. Cunts.
Fuck Suarez! The guy is a cunt. I admit, I was tempted in the summer because I was desperate. Like a young teenager who wanks over everything he sees. But now I’m in a man and I’m regularly nailing one of the sexiest girls in the world… or something. Anyway, I’m back to hating Suarez.
Really, it wasn’t that long ago many people were very excited about Suarez, saying he was the best in the league, better than Higuain, blah blah blah…and suddenly now no one likes him? Give me a break. In the same way people were over the moon about potentially signing Higuain, then that fell through and everyone started slagging him off, that he was crap, over-rated etc. Now that we didn’t get Suarez people are doing the same. Sheesh!
(I’m not saying any of you here are hypocrites, but just that I’ve noticed a big u-turn from Gunners.)
Some people said they would love him here whatever kind of person he was. Some people said they would accept him because we were desperate. Some people said that though they weren’t keen on him they would support him if he became a Gunner. Some people just said Fuck Him. Some people said he was a cunt of the first order and we would rather face midtable mediocrity than have to cheer such a bitey racist bastard on. “Many people” couldn’t agree on what they thought about him possibly coming to Arsenal. Keep your claim of hypocrites for the people… Read more »
You can’t deny there *were* many people excited about Suarez, even foaming at the mouth about how good he was. Now, though, someone who says he like Suarez is down-voted, and people who say they don’t like him get far more thumbs up. Please read what I wrote calmly, before jumping on your keyboard.
Rant over.
I never u-turned. I’ve never thought Higuain is a top top striker, but he’s good and I thought he’d have added something to the Arsenal where we needed strength in depth, alongside Giroud, Walcott, Podolski and Cazorla. And I never wanted Suarez at our club He has ball skills, sure, but he’s just not Arsenal. No class. Sorry. Özil, on the other hand, looks pure class. We have yet to see how long he takes to get used to his team-mates or adapt to the Premier League, so I’m not going to be expecting miracles from day one… but it… Read more »
I said all along that I detested 2 of our options this summer. Find me players with Rooney, or Suarez’s talents and I’d have bought them in a heartbeat; just not those individuals. When you get to the point where Suarez was a realistic option, you chose between your opinion of the player and the shirt. Part of me would have hated it, but if Suarez wore the Red and White, he’d get my support (on the pitch at least). Now, Suarez is thankfully no longer an option for me. The qualities that made him interesting over another striker are… Read more »
stop even talking bout suarez please. just off one transfer windows. I m just excited of seeing our Arsenal playing week in, week out. can everybd just leave the transfer thingy alone for some 3 months, damn?
That is possibly what is worrying R6ers. He has only played some of the best teams from England. He hasn’t had to face Shawcross or the horde of cunts like him who target skillful players just to teach them a lesson for being skillful.
I am only 3 mins into the video and damn he knows how to draw a foul out of a defender… Santi is going to have a field day getting a load of free pot shots at goal from all the freekicks Ozil can get!!
Damn you interlull why you so long!! I need Ozil in my life now!
Drawing a foul out of a defender in Spain means getting into a position where you can make it look like you were dragged down and cruelly fouled. Drawing a foul in England gets you a fucking good kicking by some cunt who hates you because you were trying to go past him.

One of the things I love about Culann’s videos is the absence of the teenage girl top 40 or Eurotrash pop that usually accompanies these kinds of compilations. Absolutely loved the inclusion of “Saltwater” (after 2:50). Chicane’s Behind the Sun is one of the best ambient trance albums of the last two decades.
Always enjoy your compilations, Culann. Well done.

I put ozil in the arsenal team on FIFA 13 and played with a mate on Sunday, he is an absolute beast completely changed the way the team worked, scored as many goals as he assisted, great tricks, 75% of his passes are back heels, beast to get the ball of, good pace and a Screaming left boot. Completely dominated my mate and was screaming ozil every goal and cool trick. Does this mean we will win the league, I think answer is obviously yes.

I love the fact we’ve got Özil, and I fully expect his assist rate to hit double figures easily. Giroud and Walcott will benefit the most from his passes – as long as they put away their chances as much as they can, then I can see both of them doing very well off our new #11. But… well, is anyone else really nervous? Like, massively nervous? We’re playing Sunderland and Stoke in our next two games, the two most anti-football clubs around. What happens if Mesut does his neat twists and turns and that fucking cunt shawcross shrugs and… Read more »
Under Paulo di Canio and Mark Hughes respectively, I have a feeling that they’re trying to play attractive attacking football (albeit with their rugby players). I am not entirely worried about our new #11 getting injured (he’s too tricky to be caught by those thugs anyway, just like Santi). I’m more worried about the adaptation period, i.e. how long does Ozil need to build the type of chemistry that our team has built over the past season.
Eh, it’s unusual for new players to start the first game. Usually they are subbed on with 10 or so minutes to go, if they even play the first game. That’s just what Barca did with Neymar. Anyway, don’t you think Wenger knows all this? He’ll obviously send Flamini in first to scissor chop the cunts into submission.
Yeah, true. And Santi avoided injury concerns last season… I don’t know. Still can’t believe we’ve got Mesut, to be honest! Can’t wait to see him play!

How could this guy come to us?
I don’t understand it. I don’t understand it at all.
In my mind this is what our formation should be since the acquisition of Özil. x SZCZES x SAGNA MERT KOSC GIBBS FLAMINI WALCOTT ARTETA ÖZIL CAZORLA GIROUD I know the inclusion of Flamini looks a bit crazy, but judging by the latter stages of his career with Fabregas, and his last game where he picked up where he left off, I would like to see him develop the same partnership with Özil (a similar pass master) pulling the strings. Moving Arteta ahead may also seem a bit crazy but he always way a more forward player, and in actual… Read more »
Can’t decide between Ramsey and Wilshere. Probably Ramsey on current form. And some tasty options on the bench – Rosicky, Podoski, Monreal, Flamini, The Verminator and the German kinder.
And another question I have, what does Özil mean for Wilshere’s career?
Another question: who makes way for Özil? Because let’s be honest Ozil is the finished article and Wilshere hasn’t had his breakthrough season yet where he reaches Fabregas levels.
I actually think this is good for Wilshere. Remember a few seasons ago everyone was complaining about Walcott, that he didn’t score or assist enough? (Ok, plenty of you still are, but, hey…) We could all see he had the talent, he just wasn’t performing as well as we believed he could. Then last season was his break through season, at the age of 23. I think the same will happen to Wilshere. He is still a season or two away from really delivering what we all know he can. In my opinion he’s not there yet. In the mean… Read more »
Oh, and I think the other part of your question is a bit mis-directed. I think the main reason Wilshere is getting so much playing time is because Arteta is out. When he’s back, he will play DM with Ramsey (or possibly Flamini, and there’s even Rosicky as an option). The man who will probably miss out due to Ozil’s arrival is Rosick. Ozil will play ACM, Santi LW, and like I said, Arteta and Ramsey DM, so unfortunately it’s Rosicky who will make way.
But then with Wenger’s usual clockwork substitutions, Rosicky will still get a lot of minutes.
One of the best things about the signing and our midfield is the fact that after 70 minutes, tired opponents who have been struggling to cope with our midfield, see Özil taken off, to be replaced with a fresh Rosicky, Wilshere (or even OX).
Incredibly difficult choice. Skills-wise: they’re probably on the same level. Cesc grew up with us, and obviously has love for the club, the fans, the manager. So I would probably go for Cesc. But having Ozil play for Arsenal is just so fucking mindblowing so I don’t care all that much.
I would go with Fab – he is already a better finished article than Ozil, in that not only does he create but he now scores. He can play as support striker, as well as AM and CM.
Having said that, Ozil is still unbelievable, just not as rounded.
For me Cesc is more mouthwatering and impressive to watch. I have a feeling Özil is more subtle; but that subtlety could be exactly what we need, as we already have a lot of attacking players.
Very excited to see. Wish Cesc was with us, but this for me is closure on Cesc and allows us to move forward. We now have a truly, truly world class player.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand. Ooof. Very brilliant signing.
The Henry thing. He gives up the body on the shot. The tumbling over and then the ball goes in. The pass into the net on the “easy” goals. The sheer confidence on the ball.
Definitely a combo of Bergkamp tech skills, Pires fluidity and Henry finishing/reaction in front of goal and Henry-like free kicks.

I think we’re we all set for the birth of, 50-goal a season striker- Giroud?
Looks luscious! 🙂
Still hasn’t sunk in that we’ve got the world’s best CAM on our team. “I hope we can surprise you” indeed Monsieur Wenger.
I know the fact has been going round that Özil is statistically the most creative midfielder in Europe, but they always leave out the most impressive part:
Özil’s 9 goals and 16 assists last season came in just 23 league starts. His 55 league assists for Madrid came in 85 starts. By way of comparison, David Silva has 58 career league assists… in 234 starts.
He is just an astounding player. I suspect in 20 years they’ll say of him that he had the elegance of Zidane and the creativity of Laudrup.
…and he played his best years with us.
The hardest thing to believe is that he is only 24 and we may have not seen the best of him yet.
It appears that the HFB and Theo have already used them all..
this guy is f***ing awsome, people can say all they like because bottomline there jealous .Theo will benefit the most from him not so much Giroud. As we see in most of the clips its Ronaldo who benefits due to pace. Overall looking forward for a realy bright looking 4/5 years

1. Chaplin never said he thought Arsenal’s strikers were better.
2. If you take a compilation of anyone’s misses they look bad. Have you seen how many goals Ronaldick actually scored though!?
Indeed — this video will be one of the first places to turn whenever Giroud misses an Özil-supplied sitter.
It’s not just us that has finishing problems. We just care more when it’s us.

Heh. *am a man. Freudian slip.
nicely done.
Really, it wasn’t that long ago many people were very excited about Suarez, saying he was the best in the league, better than Higuain, blah blah blah…and suddenly now no one likes him? Give me a break. In the same way people were over the moon about potentially signing Higuain, then that fell through and everyone started slagging him off, that he was crap, over-rated etc. Now that we didn’t get Suarez people are doing the same. Sheesh!
(I’m not saying any of you here are hypocrites, but just that I’ve noticed a big u-turn from Gunners.)
Some people said they would love him here whatever kind of person he was. Some people said they would accept him because we were desperate. Some people said that though they weren’t keen on him they would support him if he became a Gunner. Some people just said Fuck Him. Some people said he was a cunt of the first order and we would rather face midtable mediocrity than have to cheer such a bitey racist bastard on. “Many people” couldn’t agree on what they thought about him possibly coming to Arsenal. Keep your claim of hypocrites for the people… Read more »
Do you know what “many” means? Not “most”, but “many”. Apparently there are none left.
You can’t deny there *were* many people excited about Suarez, even foaming at the mouth about how good he was. Now, though, someone who says he like Suarez is down-voted, and people who say they don’t like him get far more thumbs up. Please read what I wrote calmly, before jumping on your keyboard.
Rant over.
I never u-turned. I’ve never thought Higuain is a top top striker, but he’s good and I thought he’d have added something to the Arsenal where we needed strength in depth, alongside Giroud, Walcott, Podolski and Cazorla. And I never wanted Suarez at our club He has ball skills, sure, but he’s just not Arsenal. No class. Sorry. Özil, on the other hand, looks pure class. We have yet to see how long he takes to get used to his team-mates or adapt to the Premier League, so I’m not going to be expecting miracles from day one… but it… Read more »
I said all along that I detested 2 of our options this summer. Find me players with Rooney, or Suarez’s talents and I’d have bought them in a heartbeat; just not those individuals. When you get to the point where Suarez was a realistic option, you chose between your opinion of the player and the shirt. Part of me would have hated it, but if Suarez wore the Red and White, he’d get my support (on the pitch at least). Now, Suarez is thankfully no longer an option for me. The qualities that made him interesting over another striker are… Read more »
stop even talking bout suarez please. just off one transfer windows. I m just excited of seeing our Arsenal playing week in, week out. can everybd just leave the transfer thingy alone for some 3 months, damn?
By the way, Wengersnosehair u are spot on on that but.. human being human.. just let it be..
Well for your argument to hold water, you have to prove the “many people” who wanted him are necessarily the same who no longer want him now.
You need a Venn diagram with numbers.
I hope he can cut it in the prem. I’m trying my hardest not to get too overly excited. Saturday can not come soon enough. COYG!
He can cut it. He’s made some of the best teams in England look pretty stupid in his time.
That is possibly what is worrying R6ers. He has only played some of the best teams from England. He hasn’t had to face Shawcross or the horde of cunts like him who target skillful players just to teach them a lesson for being skillful.
Exactly my point. Good shout.
I am only 3 mins into the video and damn he knows how to draw a foul out of a defender… Santi is going to have a field day getting a load of free pot shots at goal from all the freekicks Ozil can get!!
Damn you interlull why you so long!! I need Ozil in my life now!
Drawing a foul out of a defender in Spain means getting into a position where you can make it look like you were dragged down and cruelly fouled. Drawing a foul in England gets you a fucking good kicking by some cunt who hates you because you were trying to go past him.
epic vid, thanks
saves us trawling through a thousand crappy ones. i can only imagine the work that went into making this
Adrenaline pumping video! Hats off to Cullan Davies.
On a side note, Messi one fine day said that Walcott is the most dangerous player he has played against. I believe Ozil is going to make that fine day come very soon.
Let’s go Gunners!
He seems to fall a lot.
i’m falling for him.
Elementary my dear Redson..
Pass me the tissue paper, it’s not for what you think.
no wait, it IS for what you think!
One of the things I love about Culann’s videos is the absence of the teenage girl top 40 or Eurotrash pop that usually accompanies these kinds of compilations. Absolutely loved the inclusion of “Saltwater” (after 2:50). Chicane’s Behind the Sun is one of the best ambient trance albums of the last two decades.
Always enjoy your compilations, Culann. Well done.
Thanks for informing me what album the music was from !
I put ozil in the arsenal team on FIFA 13 and played with a mate on Sunday, he is an absolute beast completely changed the way the team worked, scored as many goals as he assisted, great tricks, 75% of his passes are back heels, beast to get the ball of, good pace and a Screaming left boot. Completely dominated my mate and was screaming ozil every goal and cool trick. Does this mean we will win the league, I think answer is obviously yes. Theo was quiet but giroud raised his game, carzola ozil and jack passed and flicked… Read more »
This has been the longest interlull ever… BRING ON SATURDAY ALREADY!!!!!!
We’re finally putting our money where our mouth is and I goddamn love it.
This season is going to be so exciting.
I love the fact we’ve got Özil, and I fully expect his assist rate to hit double figures easily. Giroud and Walcott will benefit the most from his passes – as long as they put away their chances as much as they can, then I can see both of them doing very well off our new #11. But… well, is anyone else really nervous? Like, massively nervous? We’re playing Sunderland and Stoke in our next two games, the two most anti-football clubs around. What happens if Mesut does his neat twists and turns and that fucking cunt shawcross shrugs and… Read more »
Under Paulo di Canio and Mark Hughes respectively, I have a feeling that they’re trying to play attractive attacking football (albeit with their rugby players). I am not entirely worried about our new #11 getting injured (he’s too tricky to be caught by those thugs anyway, just like Santi). I’m more worried about the adaptation period, i.e. how long does Ozil need to build the type of chemistry that our team has built over the past season.
Eh, it’s unusual for new players to start the first game. Usually they are subbed on with 10 or so minutes to go, if they even play the first game. That’s just what Barca did with Neymar. Anyway, don’t you think Wenger knows all this? He’ll obviously send Flamini in first to scissor chop the cunts into submission.
Yeah, true. And Santi avoided injury concerns last season… I don’t know. Still can’t believe we’ve got Mesut, to be honest! Can’t wait to see him play!
What a wonderful experience. I’d never seen 42 million pounds before, now, I can’t wait to keep looking at it for a number of years.
Thank you very much Culann
The best 24:10 of my life * so far *
Welcome to Arsenal, Mesut Özil.
Ozilllllllll!
just when you think there’s no way he’s getting out of that he riggles his way out of it, the ball at his feet as if tied to a string.
Can’t wait for his debut especially ay the grove!!!!
I now can see why Ronaldo is so upset with his departure.
mmmmmmaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!! I’M SO GODDAMN HAPPPY!!!!!!!!
this guy hates to go to ground b/c its the only time he cant make a play. im getting very excited about the weekend…
One thing is for sure..he’s gonna get kicked all over the pitch. I really hope he’s hardy like Santi! Can’t wait for the weekend!!
Can’t wait to see him in action with a cannon on the chest.
That second track on the vid is a cracker, havn’t heard it for years. Good times.
How could this guy come to us?
I don’t understand it. I don’t understand it at all.
Real Madrid could really use a clinical striker.
Real Madrid could really use a clinical Central Attacking Midfielder.
his name is Isco
In my mind this is what our formation should be since the acquisition of Özil. x SZCZES x SAGNA MERT KOSC GIBBS FLAMINI WALCOTT ARTETA ÖZIL CAZORLA GIROUD I know the inclusion of Flamini looks a bit crazy, but judging by the latter stages of his career with Fabregas, and his last game where he picked up where he left off, I would like to see him develop the same partnership with Özil (a similar pass master) pulling the strings. Moving Arteta ahead may also seem a bit crazy but he always way a more forward player, and in actual… Read more »

SAGNA MERT KOSC GIBBS
ARTETA
WALCOTT RAMSEY/WILSHERE ÖZIL CARZORLA
GIROUD
Can’t decide between Ramsey and Wilshere. Probably Ramsey on current form. And some tasty options on the bench – Rosicky, Podoski, Monreal, Flamini, The Verminator and the German kinder.
The team is looking very nice indeed.
And another question I have, what does Özil mean for Wilshere’s career?
Another question: who makes way for Özil? Because let’s be honest Ozil is the finished article and Wilshere hasn’t had his breakthrough season yet where he reaches Fabregas levels.
I actually think this is good for Wilshere. Remember a few seasons ago everyone was complaining about Walcott, that he didn’t score or assist enough? (Ok, plenty of you still are, but, hey…) We could all see he had the talent, he just wasn’t performing as well as we believed he could. Then last season was his break through season, at the age of 23. I think the same will happen to Wilshere. He is still a season or two away from really delivering what we all know he can. In my opinion he’s not there yet. In the mean… Read more »
Oh, and I think the other part of your question is a bit mis-directed. I think the main reason Wilshere is getting so much playing time is because Arteta is out. When he’s back, he will play DM with Ramsey (or possibly Flamini, and there’s even Rosicky as an option). The man who will probably miss out due to Ozil’s arrival is Rosick. Ozil will play ACM, Santi LW, and like I said, Arteta and Ramsey DM, so unfortunately it’s Rosicky who will make way.
But then with Wenger’s usual clockwork substitutions, Rosicky will still get a lot of minutes.
One of the best things about the signing and our midfield is the fact that after 70 minutes, tired opponents who have been struggling to cope with our midfield, see Özil taken off, to be replaced with a fresh Rosicky, Wilshere (or even OX).
I have another question!
Who would you prefer played for Arsenal right now: Fabregas or Ozil?
I am only concerned with who IS at the club so I’d go for Ozil. Irrespective of how I love Cesc personally, he plays for Barcelona now.
On a more sensible note, I thinkj Ozil fits into the current Arsenal squad more appropriately than Fabregas.
Incredibly difficult choice. Skills-wise: they’re probably on the same level. Cesc grew up with us, and obviously has love for the club, the fans, the manager. So I would probably go for Cesc. But having Ozil play for Arsenal is just so fucking mindblowing so I don’t care all that much.
Thats a ‘which of your children do you like best’ kind of question…..
(Özil)
I would go with Fab – he is already a better finished article than Ozil, in that not only does he create but he now scores. He can play as support striker, as well as AM and CM.
Having said that, Ozil is still unbelievable, just not as rounded.
Thanks for the replies.
For me Cesc is more mouthwatering and impressive to watch. I have a feeling Özil is more subtle; but that subtlety could be exactly what we need, as we already have a lot of attacking players.
Very excited to see. Wish Cesc was with us, but this for me is closure on Cesc and allows us to move forward. We now have a truly, truly world class player.

Ronaldo will be the most pissed with Bale right now, since his most successful goal provider was sold off due to his arrival at RM.
I really hope Giroud and walcott can improve themselves to make ozil’s passes fruitful.
I can already see it.. Ronaldo / Bale.. When Adebawhore and Bent’ ur had a fall out on the pitch.. Hehehe.. Happy times.. My money’s on Ramos – Scruffing Ronaldo & Bale by the neck and smashing them heads..
Unreal vid…unreal talent….wish I could say the same about the video’s song.
Very, very, very much has some of the Thierry Henry scoring flair.
Henkamp?
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand. Ooof. Very brilliant signing.
The Henry thing. He gives up the body on the shot. The tumbling over and then the ball goes in. The pass into the net on the “easy” goals. The sheer confidence on the ball.
Definitely a combo of Bergkamp tech skills, Pires fluidity and Henry finishing/reaction in front of goal and Henry-like free kicks.
Jesus.
Red and White hard-on.
COYG
I am also very encouraged at how he is fouled early in a counter-attack. Speaks volumes of how afraid the defence is. Some of it, I’m sure, is Renaldo. But still…
Our strikers should watch this video about a million times to shorten the familiarization period.
